Oh wow! Can’t believe we’ve only just discovered the personalised Heinz Christmas shop?!
Aw yey, Spice Kitchen are the winners of this year’s Mature-preneur Award from Holly & Co! We couldn’t agree more that there beautiful spice boxes presented in sari wraps make amazing gifts! That’s why they are in this year’s Gift Guide For The Cooks.
So this one’s as divisive as Marmite! Ladbaby and Martin Lewis have joined forces to rework Christmas fundraising classic: Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? Like it or loathe it, we’re all agreed the cause is a goodun! (Song’s out Friday, let us know what you think!)
Have you seen this year’s Radio Times yet? Loving the vintage style from cover. Much as we adore the blue snowman/santa style covers of the last decade, this red and green design really caught our eye! We can’t get over the fact that the magazine’s been a Christmas feature for 99 years now!
